The TBird mail is all on my machine here and that's where I want to store the Claws mail too. So am I doing something wrong then if Claws is giving me this message?
Possibly. As I said earlier, it sounds as if you have quotas set on your IMAP mail folders and you are attempting to import mail to those folders. The IMAP server is then issuing a warning.
Assuming that you are doing:
File -> Import mbox file
check that the "Destination folder" you have selected is actually local and not an IMAP folder. You could also check Claws' network log (under Tools) to see if Claws is attempting to connect to the IMAP server and store mail there. If you /have/ selected a local folder and not IMAP, then I'm sorry but I can't figure out why Claws should be complaining.
Hopefully you've seen my other mail where I said I'd solved this.
You were right to point out that the destination folder was local. I wasn't doing that as I didn't perceive the difference between the designations onscreen of IMAP and the absence of MH which I had seen in Sylpheed.
It wasn't until I got the quota error that I thought to look at that difference.
Another lesson learnt!
